Still a 50-50 situation in the match. Pakistan lead by 244 and if england can restrict them within 250 then that will be easy for England, but Pakistan will be looking for anything above 275.

The big question is what will be the safe score for Pakistan ? There are only two wickets left for them and i don't see them making a big score from here onwards. At least i am not sure at this moment who will win this match. Perhaps it will depend on how England will bat last on this wicket.

England have made a superb comeback in this test match and this has made the test match more interesting as match can now swing in any direction. Pakistan is leading by 244 runs and they would try that remaining 2 wickets if can add another 30 runs will reach near 275. Though will this score be enough is a doubtful, but if Pakistan breaks through early in England innings might be enough.




As expected, they did made reach the target of 275 runs and now England needs 277 runs in their second inning to win this test match. Pakistan could not bat well just like in 1st innings they did it. Now everything will depend on their bowling if they must win this test match.

England should easily win this match. 277 is not a big target and one or two big partnerships can make the match more in favor of England.
If they can bat the first 50 overs with only 1-2 wickets down, that would be a dream start for them.



England are looking favorite now. The captain Root and Sibley are playing very sensibly and England are slowing cursing towards the target without losing any more wickets. Although England did not played well in the first innings but they have dominated in the 2nd innings bowling and batting.

Now that's a Pakistan we are very familiar in the world cricket. This team knows how to shoot themselves in their foot when in dominating position.
The interesting part is that Pakistan was dominating around 10 sessions in a Test match and they lost around 2 sessions and are now under pressure as there is plenty of time left in the match but they lost the advantage they had throughout the match by loosing 2 sessions and not even a single good partnership in the second innings, unless there is some extraordinary performance by the Pakistani bowlers England could win the match from this situation.
England definitely fancying their chance now, pretty disappointing with the Pakistani batsmen in the second inning. Yasir Shah added some valuable runs in the end , which is useful and thanks to 100+ lead, 277 runs target is not bad on 4th inning if you are defending but Pakistan's problem is England has almost 180 overs to achieve this target. However this Pakistan bowling lineup is good and has potential to bowl out England team but let's hope they step up for their team one more time and more importantly fielders supporting them by not dropping any chances.

This is nothing new because we have history of matches like this for Pakistan I will try to post here few links of matches which Pakistan lost as they was dominating and all lost in just one session one against New Zealand and one against Sri Lanka this is nature of Pakistan cricket we have some very talented players but sadly never develop them as good finishers which is nightmare for us.

Edit: 2.4 overs and 32 runs what a start for Pakistan now England need 277 runs to win this first test really interest end of this match is waiting for us.

Only rain can save England now, they are struggling against the pace battery and spin.

Pakistan is in very dominating situation and only Pakistan can beat itself in this test by doing their thingy "Unpredictability"  I would be very disappoint if they throw away game from here.
161/7 First session was totally belong to England and now second one is going in Pakistan favour as Yasi Shah doing good job 3rd wicket now they can control this all again with tail enders I am also feeling Pakistan doing good so now time for first win without any choke because this can hurt all players and peoples at home badly.
Lol Indy, they are messing things up..

@onrise yea anything can happen in this game, because if you see the last few series of England’s Test matches, then you’ll observe that they have lost the opening match in all those series. However I’m yet not feeling confident to wager on Pakistan, because if England player’s don’t loose wickets early in their innings, then they will definitely win this game as they have a strong batting lineup.

Quote

In eight of their last ten Test series, England have lost the first Test match, including the losses against Pakistan at Lord's in 2016 and 2018. Against West Indies, in the recently concluded series too, England lost the first Test at Southampton.

The tables have turned again, yesterdays match proves how inconsistent the Pakistani team is. A win-win situation was destroyed by a horrible batting from the Pakistani side. Awesome comeback by the English team. I feel this match will end in a draw.

Unless there is major rain interruption, there is zero chance for a draw. The match can go either way, but enough time remains to rule out a draw. The target for England can be anywhere between 250 and 300, and 6 sessions of play remain (approx. 180 overs). Stokes is in form, and therefore I would still say that England is having a slightly higher chance here.

Pakistan already lost 8 wickets and they have a lead of 244 runs and that means they need to score another 31 runs with 2 wickets remaining which is a hard task if the fast bowlers are operating in the morning and i will be surprised if they are able to take a lead of 260 runs and with two days left England could win the match but i expect a tightly contested match.

The thing that surprised me is that Ben Stokes was injured and he was in the team solely as a batsman and since he got out for a duck he took the ball in the second innings and took a couple of wickets.

Yes today after watching match now I am feeling English bowlers was not good enough its just Pakistani batsmen doing same mistakes and giving easy wickets to them for some terrible end of this test match for them if they able to have 30 to 35 more runs then surely its going to be good contest otherwise its going to be very good for England.

After losing the 3rd wicket, the match is very evenly positioned at the present stage. The early advantage which Pakistan team gained in the beginning is gone.
Odds are looking interesting now and it is best time to jump in any one team you think will win this match from here.
Pakistan lost their 4th wicket and are having a lead of 173 runs, they need to make a lead over 300 run if not all the advantages they had throughout the match will be lost and this is the only reason i am not confident in betting in a match with Pakistan as they cannot be trusted if you are betting. They dominated the match for almost three days and in the second innings they are struggling.

Right now England doing very good and fighting back for win in this first test match of series bowlers already have their all on and Pakistan lost 7 wickets and 135 runs on board which is not good but still English batting line up need to show some guts for winning this match as now pitch is not good and spinners can steal the show.

By the end of 1st innings, Pakistan is lead by 107 runs. If England manages to get Pakistanis out around 200, they'll have a target of 300-350 runs which is a chaseable score considering the English batting lineup. So, I believe that there is still a bit of chance for England to get back in to the game.

Are you betting on England or Pakistan ?

If Pakistan loses more wickets today, i think England will become favorites. I am looking to see Archer getting some wickets here in the 2nd innings.

Slowly this test match is moving out of England's hand. Pakistan already has a lead of 113 runs and if they are able to bat the whole day tomorrow then I am sure the lead will be for more than 300 runs. It will be very hard for England to chase such a big score considering the Pakistan team has also shown how good they bowl in these conditions.
Currently Pakistan is in very strong position but they still need some good runs on board for win because less then 300+ target is not good for them and they can lost this match now Azhar and Abid need to stay on for some time and then Babar and Asad also give some good support for win less then 300 target is really interesting for both but if Pakistan want to win this match and take lead in this series then surely 300+ is ok for them.
